CNN Host Demands GOP Lawmaker Prove a Negative

CNN’s “New Day” host Chris Cuomo on Friday demonstrated just how far gone he and the network are during a discussion with Rep. Sean Duffy.

The two were discussing the worn-out issue of President Donald Trump allegedly colluding with the Russians when Cuomo insisted the Wisconsin Republican prove there’s not evidence any collusion took place. Prove there’s not evidence? That could be a little tough.

All Duffy could do was repeat that no evidence supporting collusion has been substantiated, but that wasn’t enough for Cuomo.

“But you can’t know whether there was or not,” Cuomo said. “That’s my point. How do you know there was none? How do you know that there was? You can’t know. You don’t know the proof.”

Duffy agreed that he can’t know with certainty, but added that there has been no evidence to substantiate that claim.

“What I think is happening is there is a conversation about collusion, and my point is there’s no evidence of collusion,” Duffy said.

He noted that if there was substantial evidence about Trump colluding with the Russians, it likely would have been leaked by now, considering how many leaks have been coming out of Washington.

“I have every confidence that (Trump colluding with the Russians) would have been leaked to the press, and you would have been able to run with that story because everything has been leaked,” he said.

This clip is a perfect illustration of just how hellbent CNN is on destroying Trump. Any reputable news agency would point out the lack of evidence in this case, but not CNN, which has trashed its reputation in pursuit of destroying Trump’s presidency.

From this video clip, it would appear that Cuomo, a licensed attorney, seemed to have forgotten one of the basic tenets of law: innocent until proven guilty. Apparently, if Trump is involved, that principle doesn’t apply.
